2. Installation

Design of the HALO Driver allows to connect several xtures to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy
chain using power input and throughput connectors.The max. number of connected xtures depends on the
AC mains power voltage and xture version:
EU version (CE) US version (cETLus)
10 xtures at power supply= 230V 6 xtures at power supply= 230V
9 xtures at power supply= 208V 5 xtures at power supply= 208V
5 xtures at power supply= 120V 3 xtures at power supply= 120V
Actual numbers of xtures may differ from values stated above as you have to take into account the length of
supply cables, circuit breaker etc. at projecting of the xtures installation Do not overload the supply line and

the connecting leads.

Wiring and connection work must be carried out by qualied staff!

The Halo Driver is equipped with the clamp for rigging on a truss. �or securing the HALO Driver to the truss,�or securing the HALO Driver to the truss,
install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture. Use only the safety wire with a snap
hook with screw lock gate. �asten the snap hook in the safety attachment eyelet and the safety wire around

the truss.

DMX start address setting

The DMX start address, is the rst channel used to receive instructions from the DMX controller. The address
may be any channel from 1 to 510 and is set on the Address DIP switch.

Examples

Control mode setting

The last three DIP switches dene control modes.

DIPs

Control Mode 10 11 12 Function

24 CH Intelli�lex Mode OFF OFF OFF Uses 24 Channel Personality to control each Halo Ring.

Uses Start Address for rst port as dened by DIP's19.
Each subsequent port is 24 channelsLater.

3 CH Strobe Mode ON OFF OFF Uses 3 Channel Strobe Personality to control each Halo

Ring.

Uses Start Address for rst port as dened by DIP's
19. Each subsequent port is 3 channels Later .

3 CH RGB Mode ON ON OFF Uses 3 Channel RGB Personality to control each Halo

Ring.

Uses Start Address for rst port as dened by DIP's
19. Each subsequent port is 3 channels Later .

Direct Mapping Mode OFF ON OFF Pixel Map each Halo Ring using 72 Channels.

Uses Start Address for rst port as dened by DIP's
19. Each subsequent port is 72 channels Later .

Intelli-Mappping Mode X X ON All 6 ports use the same 24 Channel Personality.

When Pixel Mapping Engine is active,it will work in a simi-

lar way to the direct mapping map, but will start the map

25 channels later that the start address (72 Channels per
Port).

X = position ignored

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE HALO DRIVER FROM MAINS BEFORE SETTING THE DIP SWITCHES.
